Lincoln Police were called to Lux Middle School near 78th and High Street Sunday afternoon after a 9mm handgun was found in between YMCA basketball games.  LPD Public Information Officer Erika Thomas says the pistol was inside a fanny pack that left on the bleachers.

Thomas says staff found the gun after opening the bag to look for an ID.  “Officers identified the owner of the bag and contacted her at her home.”  Thomas says 33-year-old Paige Doncillo of Lincoln was arrested and taken to the Lancaster County Jail for possession of a firearm on school grounds.

“Lincoln Police and Lincoln Public Schools would like to remind the community that regardless of recent changes to the Nebraska concealed carry law, it is still illegal to
carry a weapon onto school grounds at any time, especially firearms.”
